Today we can but begin what must surely be a long and arduous task - to assess and describe the Steel Daemons, to confront them and ultimately to bring them to battle. We can but add guesses to our too scant knowledge, to reconstruct their weaponry, their fighting methods, their strengths and vulnerabilities. All this we must do, and quickly, lest we perish without ever recognizing our peril" - Inquisitor Hoth Mysterious, efficient and merciless, the true motives of the machine warriors known as Necrons are unknown. That they have a purpose, a plan, a greater and more sinister purpose is without doubt. They carry weaponry of a sophisticated and mysterious type, unlike anything known in the Imperium and far in advance of anything even from the Dark Age of Technology. They appear without warning and cause extensive havoc before disappearing with their captives for undoubtedly hideous experimentation. When one of these mechanical monstrosities is gunned down, it repairs itself and returns to the attack or fades from existence as if it was never there.
